Who knows what these things are that I just found on the Pacific Coast in Washington? My first guess is squid eggs but I really don't know. Beautiful!

I bought a share in the kiln at Rat City Studios. Fingers crossed for a great firing

Been enjoying the meditation of making these wall pieces. And then I realize I really have to pee. 🤣

Heading up to Orcas Island this weekend to deliver a bunch of work to Orcas Island Pottery. These pieces are part of the group. I love this excuse to go up there off season when it is not so busy. No 6 hour ferry line! 🥰

I carved a new texture. Not sure if I will keep adding the eyeballs but that is what I "saw" when I put this vase together!

I am teaching a vase making class at Niche in Ballard (seattle)on April 5th.
We are going to be having a super textural time!

I taught a class in my new space! It is still small but we had a blast.

Morning vibes in my backyard. A few Anna's Hummingbirds were still splashing in there and it is 28 degrees

This little dancing gremlin reminds me to remain joyful and not let them tear us down. This was designed by my daughter, who is a trans woman. It is available on my Etsy site.

Oof, counting to use my hands to make new work although some days it all feels pointless but I must remind myself that this is not only one of my professions, but one of the ways to keep myself grounded. Clay brings me community and right now, especially now we need to be in community.

I finally found the best holder for my most used #mudtools ribs! This little rocking vase was kind of short for stems but it now has found its purpose.

This is one of my favorite textures. Top secret garbage from a building site 🤣🤣🤣
I have a bunch of large serving bowls made this way that I am glazing up. Fingers crossed that they turn out!

Tiny vases are one of my favorite things to make. Little useable tests. I am so much looking forward to spring when there will be fresh flowers emerging. 💕January gets loooooong in the North.

I have been making some hollow "rocks" out of reclaim for my stream. They make the best ice sculptures!

It's going to be a busy weekend! These are all bisque fired and now it's time for bath, light sanding and then glazing.
